Hand Diaphragm Primer

Hand Diaphragm Primer Pump

The Hand Diaphragm Primer Pump (DP) is an air pump that creates vacuum suction in a centrifugal pump priming line and pulls water up into the pump to prime it. These centrifugal pump primers are popular for their portability and simplicity.

Protek Specialty Diaphragm Primer Models: DP5, DP7, and DP9

The DP primer has a flapper check valve in the diaphragm and a disk check valve at the bottom of the unit. Air flows through the bottom check valve on the diaphragm up stroke then through the diaphragm valve on the down stroke. Diaphragm is actuated through a connecting rod eyebolt attached to a fulcrum handle bracket.

The Protek Specialty DIAPHRAGM PRIMER PUMPS are centrifugal pump primers, ideal for  use in irrigation, firefighting, liquid extraction, and fluid distribution applications.

Compatible products : Centrifugal Pump, hand pump, skid.

Common names : hand pump primer, centrifugal pump primer, suction lift
primer, portable primer, centrifugal primer, centrifugal water pump primer, permanent primer.

  • INSTALLATION & OPERATION

    1. Attach primer to centrifugal pump or skid.
      • Use non-collapsible hose or flexible tubing to connect primer suction inlet to pump.
    2. Install cut-off valve between the primer suction inlet and pump.
    3. Close cut-off valve immediately after priming.
      • Make sure primer drain valve is closed.
      • A cut-off valve should be used at the pump discharge to prevent air from being drawn through the discharge line while priming.
  • MAINTENANCE

    • Remove any debris under the diaphragm after each use.
    • Clear all fluids from inside the unit after each use.
  • TROUBLESHOOTING

    If DP is not priming the pump, check the following:

    1. Make sure drain cock is closed.
    2. Inspect check valve for blockage and free movement.
    3. Check suction side for air leaks.
    4. Connecting hoses should be straight and clear of debris.
    5. Call Protek Technical Support for additional help.
